EL-Aalamein Battlefield

El-Alamein Memorial

Famed for the decisive victory of the Allies over the Axis forces in the WWII North Africa campaign, El-Alamein AKA Al-Alamein, is located half-way between Alexandria and Marsa Matrouh on the Egyptian North Coast. Today, it is home to war memorials, the British Memorial, the German Memorial and the Italian Memorial, as well as cemeteries, and landmarks reminiscent of this important part of the town history. What's not to forget is that El-Alamein was also once described by Churchill himself as having the best climate in the world! It has thus normally become the favorite sun and sand upscale destination of Egyptian tourists on the White Med, and foreigners are following the trend and invading the upscale resorts that are growing like mushrooms on this stretch of coastal paradise. In Grace-Roman times, El-Alamein was known as white shell; it has been so named because of its beautiful white sandy beaches. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was worshiped there. Today, you can bask in total luxury on the sandy white beaches of El-Alamein .
